For my second copy, I decided to copy the front cover of Oxygen:Inhale, by Thousand Foot Krutch.
To start off, I took a picture of the sky. I tried my best to get a photo of the sky with clouds on each side of the image. Unfortunately I couldn't get the perfect image, so I had to settle with the one below.
To fix this problem, I simply used the pen tool to go around the cloud. As a result, I then had a second cloud that I was able to flip over and reposition on to the left side of the image. I then changed the brightness to give the image a softer and more relaxed tone.
When making the element symbol, I simply placed a white circle in the middle of the page and then used the elliptical marquee tool to cut a whole in the middle.
Here is the finished copy:
